Comparative Religious Studies

Comparative Religious Studies is devoted to the scholarly comparison of religious traditions, texts, rituals, beliefs, ethics, and institutions across time and cultures. This section encourages research that explores:

• Similarities and differences between world religions

• Interfaith dialogue, syncretism, and religious pluralism

• Comparative theology and philosophy of religion

• Sacred texts and their interpretations across traditions

• Comparative religious ethics and cosmologies

• Methodological approaches in the study of multiple religions

Articles may address two or more religious systems such as Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, or Indigenous spiritualities.

This category seeks to promote cross-cultural understanding and critical engagement between religious traditions.
